Love the island.  My husband put it together while I was at work. It took him about 3 hours.  It's the perfect size for our kitchen and we wish we had ordered it a long time ago.  It's heavy and a good quality.  The only problem is the smell of the paint/varnish they use.  We've had it for several weeks now and the odor is finally starting to dissipate.  Having said that, I would still order it again.  We're extremely happy with it.  I was able to empty two cabinets and clear some of the clutter off my countertops.  It's made our kitchen much more functional. Only thing left to do is stain and seal the top. I don't want to leave the butcher block unsealed as I won't be using it for food preparation. Great item. Also, the shipping from Wayfair was super fast and the item was exactly as described. Would definitely purchase from Wayfair again.
